“Blindspot,” on Monday nights this fall, is an action-packed hour from Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter and Martin Gero that looks like NBC’s best chance to be a freshman hit. You’ve seen the promos for what feels like months now.

Jaimie Alexander, a wrestler with “a strong fight background,” plays the central character, a Jane Doe who has amnesia and is found, body covered in tattoos, in Times Square. The character is discovered to have special ops training, taking advantage of Alexander’s skills.

The full body tat takes seven and a half hours to apply. To save time on certain days she can get away with wearing a hoodie or long sleeves. (She has seven tatoos of her own, strategically covered by the makeup tats.) Producers shut down Times Square in the wee hours to get the opening scene.

“It’s a procedural for people who don’t like procedurals and a character drama for people who don’t like character dramas,” said co-star Sullivan Stapleton, covering all PR bases for the network.

Mapmakers, quiz and puzzle specialists, a magician and others were consulted on the body art. “We’re very conscious that people are going to pause the picture and study the tatoos” to try to figure things out, producer Gero said. He joked optimistically that the Jane Doe character has eight or nine seasons’ worth of tattoos on her body, “the legs are just for the spinoff.”

James Spader is NBC’s touchstone for Thursday nights this fall, staying put as the network adds new dramas behind “The Blacklist.” NBC announced its 2015-16 primetime slate Sunday morning ahead of the “upfront” presentations to advertisers in New York tomorrow.

“The Blacklist” will be used to launch two new series, “Heroes: Reborn,” the spinoff of that popular drama, and “The Player,” from the producers of “The Blacklist.”

NBC’s other new dramas, “Blindspot” and “Heartbreaker,” will bow after “The Voice” on Mondays and Tuesdays, respectively. “Blindspot,” a conspiracy drama that opens with a woman (Jamie Alexander, above) covered in mysterious tattoos found naked in Times Square, is from prolific producer Greg Berlanti (“Arrow,” “The Flash,” who also landed “Supergirl” on CBS for fall).

NBC will be short on comedies, long on dramas for fall, with only two comedies making the cut. “Undateable” and “People Are Talking” are set for Fridays.

Besides Spader, the other boldface name on NBC’s lineup is Neil Patrick Harris, whose variety show, “Best Time Ever,” will air Tuesdays through November.

Littleton’s own Melissa Benoist (“Glee,” “Whiplash”) is making a splash on the internet today: Warner Bros. released the first photos of Benoist as “Supergirl.” The DC Comics adaptation will air on CBS.

The drama focuses on the story of Kara Zor-El (Benoist), Superman’s cousin, who was born on the planet Krypton and escaped amid its destruction. After arriving on Earth, Kara was taken in by a foster family, the Danvers, who taught her to be careful with her superpowers. Now the 20something is learning to help her neighbors and embracing her inner Superhero.

Benoist, once billed as “The New Rachel” on “Glee,” will now soar ever higher, as the comic book icon.

The one-hour drama is from “Arrow” and “Flash” co-creator Greg Berlanti and Ali Adler (“The New Normal”).

According to a Warner Bros. release, the costume for “Supergirl” was designed by super-designer Colleen Atwood, whose TV design credits include costumes for “The Flash” and “Arrow” and whose film credits include Academy Awards for her work on “Alice in Wonderland,” “Memoirs of a Geisha” and “Chicago.”

“In designing Supergirl,” Atwood said in a statement, “I wanted to embrace the past, but more importantly, thrust her into the street-style action hero of today.”

“Hunger Games,” “Revolution,” “Campaign.” Here comes another nod to archery in the pop culture: The CW has one of the most buzz-worthy dramas this year, a dark superhero hour, “Arrow,” debuting Oct. 10.

They’re taking some liberties with the Green Arrow comic book character, giving him family, for instance, but the general superhero vigilante mythology is familiar. Our hero targets the corrupt, with a bit of Robin Hood versus the one percenters tossed in as a topical undercurrent.

The ripped musculature of Stephen Amell as playboy billionaire Oliver Queen deserves its own screen credit. (You’ve got to see him do climbing chin-ups, a “salmon ladder.”)

Joanne Ostrow has been watching TV since before "reality" required quotation marks. "Hill Street Blues" was life-changing. If Dickens, Twain or Agatha Christie were alive today, they'd be writing for television. And proud of it.
